Re: (no subject)

Hi Lawrence,

I'm a huge fan of VMWare and virtualization in general. We run a six
server farm of VMWare ESX here in IS&T. On a Dell 1855 blade, we run
about 15-20 instances of difference x86 OSes, including Windows and
Linux. IMHO, VMWare's product is far superior to any on the market,
including Microsoft's Virtual Server. Product support has been
excellent as well. ESX even lets you move VMs from one host server to
another live (via a process called VMotion). I don't know of any other
product that can do that.

If you don't want to run your own virtual infrastructure, you can
purchase VM instances from us. Contact me if you are interested.

Thanks,

John
